The EPILOGUE

Summary

The year is 2209 and the world has ended. The XY-7 virus has infected the entire world. After a bioterrorist attack aimed to every major city of the globe occurred simultaneously, people started to die in the millions within the first twenty four hours. Jason Clarke, a college freshman, finds himself being the only survivor in his city. Alone, he will try to find the answers about how and why this happened, but he will need some help on the way. He will have to face against the challenges of empty civilizations, dramatic climate changes, and unknown enemy forces. If there is any hope left for Earth, it is up to him to make things right.

Prologue

September 18th, 2032, 04:17:32 p.m.

‘’Dr. Gerald, will this work?’’ said Dr. Davidson. ‘’Of course, this is the only way and we have no time left to figure out how test subjects would react’’ said Dr. Gerald. ‘’Davidson, I need you to get me the syringe now, if this is happening, it is right now’’. Dr. Gerald injected himself with a self-made vaccination for a deadly virus named the XY-7. The XY-7 virus was created by scientist within the Nations for Improvement of Health and Diseases (NIHD) in order to combat a series of human diseases, but had horrible results when exposed to their first human test subjects.

After seeing the XY-7 virus’ devastating reaction of dissolving human flesh from the inside and a dramatic increase to body heat temperature, NIHD decided it would be best used to combat against enemies of the Great Nations to avoid weaponized warfare. The Great Nations consist of an allied force between nine powerful nations: China, Japan, Russia, United States, United Kingdom (and all of its territories), Italy, France, Turkey, and Germany.

The Great Nations were established after a war broke out between China and the Koreas in 2022, then Russia against Spain in 2023, Germany and Turkey against most South American countries in 2025, and United States with United Kingdom against joined forces of Mexico, India, and South Africa in 2026. The whole world was involved in a war and the strongest nations decided the best way to victory was an overall alliance for a better world. The establishment of the Great Nations was finalized in 2029.

A lead scientist in the creation of the virus was Dr. Anthony Gerald; Dr. Gerald was a young man with high hopes to building the perfect immunity for humans. When he discovered that the NIHD would use this virus as a weapon against enemies, he foresaw a terrible future and began preparations for a vaccine. Dr. Gerald’s assistant and best friend, Dr. Joseph Davidson was on board to fighting against this deadly virus. The two of them knew they had to keep this a secret though; the entire research facility of NIDH was on full support for the virus’ potential because the world had been at war for twenty years across every nation. Gerald and Davidson knew that making a cure to this virus could mean a shift in the global war.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
